Last Train to Nibroc

Also on board is May, who shares her seat with a charming young flyer, Raleigh

Religious and bookish, May plans to be a missionary. Raleigh has been given a medical discharge and, inspired by West and Fitzgerald, is heading to New York to be a writer

Raleigh and May discover they are from neighboring Appalachian towns, and he decides to change trains for Kentucky, promising to take May to the next Nibroc Festival

Scene Two finds May and Raleigh at the festival, but a year and half later

Unfit for war, and needing to support his parents, Raleigh has been working in a Detroit factory

May is teaching school and dating an itinerant preacher

When Raleigh confronts her, May admits her prejudices against his family

And it's not until the following spring as they sit on May's front porch, that the two are finally able to resolve their differences and discover the depth of their feelings
